So today (or yesterday, since I'm writing this at 12:02 a.m.), I spoke to my parents about how I wanted to self-harm again and since how long the thoughts were bothering me. I received a somewhat neutral response - neither too positive, nor too negative. The conversation faded out to "Just stop thinking about it" by the end, but I knew they did not say it in a condescending manner. They talked about me getting counselling after my exams, to which I agreed.
Nonetheless, it made me feel slightly better. Telling such things is hard, especially to your parents. Can you imagine your child crying while eating dinner, saying that she tries to kill herself but doesn't want to?
So what I want to say is, speak. Don't shut yourself away when you feel low. It's a horrible habit of mine, but I'm trying to rectify it. I hope all of you try too. Reaching out can give you good or bad outcomes, but at least it will give you an outcome to work with. Shutting yourself doesn't help with shit.
Peace :) <3
^^ Also, shout out to the old cover of this book! You will be missed :') ^^
